I'm a writer and editor with more than a decade of experience in journalism and non-profit communications. I'm a driving force behind the Feed Appeal and convinced Bruce Springsteen to support our fundraising campaigns during his Australian tours.As a writer I thrive on delving into complex issues, analysing data, interviewing people and writing compelling copy in a sensitive way. I have used these skills as an editor and reporter with Leader Community News to raise awareness and bring about change in areas including homelessness, food insecurity, equal access to justice, mental health, police accountability and policy reform across Victoria.My passion, strategic thinking and writing flair have been a driving force behind taking the Feed Melbourne Appeal from a $10,000 community paper campaign to a multi-million dollar national charity. This includes writing in a range of styles, and for different platforms, including in-depth articles, social media posts, web content and multimedia scripts.As a volunteer I have personally raised more than $12,000 for girls' education empowerment charity One Girl, through writing compelling calls to action, along with planning and executing a successful fundraiser.
